GOING: G

P&C INSURANCE BROKERS 3YO 1200m

Track: GOOD     Out 6m  

Fast pace assured with Tullamore Dew, Pleasing and Tycoon Boss leading the charge. TULLAMORE DEW (9) won her Maiden victory on debut; favourite; by 1.5 len at Hawera March 26 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Good Craic carrying 56kg at $1.70. Has serious upside and she can make it back-to-back wins. Drawn well. Will be short once again. PUZZLE MASTER (1) has been placed in both of his fresh up wins. Trial fifth earlier this month. Top tier must in this. ANUSHKA SHESASTAR (6) was a close second at her last start. Trifecta and first four chance undoubtedly here. DEBBI HARRI (8) was a good run at her last start. Drawn wide. Cannot be omitted anywhere here. LUCULLAN (2) was an easy winner fresh up. He can get the job done again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tullamore Dew is a win wager.
